New Condo/Retail Building Planned Near Five Points
A new condo/retail development may be on the way for one of the East Side’s most famous bends in the road. Concept drawings were released this week for a new, three-story mixed-use building at 1012 Main St., adjacent to both The 5 Spot and the building that houses Marché Artisan Foods and Duke’s.
The proposed development will include 21 townhomes and approximately 1,500 square feet of retail space. Designed by East Nashville-based Powell Architecture + Building Studio, the development is being undertaken by Nashville-based M Cubed Developments who purchased the former used car lot for $ 3.245 million in April 2019, according to Metro records. M Cubed is also overseeing the construction of boutique hotel at 916 Main St.
Located in the Metro Development and Housing Agency Five Points Redevelopment District, the proposed development requires approval by the MDHA Design Review Committee and the Metro Historic Zoning Commission. The plans are scheduled to be reviewed at the next Metro Historic Zoning Commission meeting, Wednesday, Oct. 16, at 2 p.m. at the Sonny West Conference Center in the Howard Office Building (700 Second Ave. S., 37210).
Paddle, Bike, and Run for the Golden Pheasant!

Whether you catch a glimpse of the Golden Pheasant or not, it’s a great away to enjoy the fall weather and raise money for Walk Bike Nashville and their mission of creating a more walkable, bikeable, and livable Nashville.
